1988 Map of Frost Pond

About this map

Baxter State Park encompasses much of this Maine wilderness, where the East Branch Penobscot River flows through a landscape defined by significant water bodies and topographic rises. The map documents the northern expanse of the park during the late 1980s, highlighting the interconnected waters of Grand Lake, Second Lake, and Lake Matagamon. Historical transit is marked by the Indian Carry trail along Webster Brook, a traditional portage route through the woods. To the south, Wadleigh Mountain stands as a prominent landmark above Wadleigh Bog and Trout Brook. This survey provides a record of recreational and conservation infrastructure in the North Woods, including the Trout Brook Crossing and various campsites that supported the logging-turned-recreational economy of the region.
